As the title suggests, in this session Tom and I quickly found ourselves in the middle of simplicity and complexity, melody and noise. The first take leans more to simplicity and open spaciousness, the latter to complexity and continuities of disjunction. The first demonstrates an ease of transition between pure melodic pentatonic lines, floating glissando lines and noise. The second gives a new take on glitch, removing it from any obligation to meter and juxtaposing clusters of discrete events with ever shifting harmonic/chord timbres and gestures.
